something that long covid has taken from me is my ability to cough like a normal person.
I somehow cough like a toddler now (or else I’m not recovering from said coughing fit) where my jaw needs to be unhinged, I’m gasping for every bit of air and sometimes my tongue does that roll thing lol

I think it's beyond clear that things are both complex and being run by stupid people that don't understand that complexity - or care to, beyond what it can do for their personal benefit.

Let me just say: Fuckers.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

In suppprt of indie authors: Authors make the most money when you buy directly from their websites. Some authors not only sell paperbacks but ebook copies as well. The nice thing about those ebooks is instead of a license, you own your copy.

Philly drivers are the first ppl to beep their horns when the light literally just turned green, but are also the ppl that’ll pull a gun on you if you appropriately lightly beep at them bc they ran a red light and almost t-boned you…
New York drivers are the worst but Philly is a close second.

Drug addiction is a physical and mental health issue not a personal failing so shame, scorn and forced abstinence do not cure it. It changes the brain chemistry.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
